In the summer of 2017 in Spain, an international architectural competition was held under the title "Musical factory on the island of Lanzarote." Two teams led by teachers - architects Ilnar and Rezeda Akhtyamovs - worked on the assignment. The composition of the teams was mixed, undergraduates of the first year of study and bachelors of the fourth and second year of study. The project "SOUNDISLAND" of the first team became the finalist of the contest, and was selected by the jury members in the 30 best projects of the contest! In all, 131 projects from 35 countries were submitted for the competition. Our teams presented excellent work, it was a good experience of collective work of students of different courses and teachers, as well as the experience of the competition with professionals from other countries.
